The Broken Ceiling is a hand-drawn, 2D, top-down eldritch horror adventure where the player must use a fragile light, which constantly needs to be recharged, to hold back the darkness, explore alien caverns, and uncover why fate has summoned a little rabbit into a pit of incomprehensible beings.

You were warned not to dig too deep; there was no need to go further. A rabbit's life is comfortable without the extra effort. But something—subtle, yet unrelenting—pulled at a hidden space in your mind. It seemed like a waste of time, but you felt compelled to keep going—until the tunnel, once your safest refuge, collapsed beneath you. Air rushes past as you fall, and when you look up, the Broken Ceiling fades into the darkness.
Driven by compulsion, the protagonist burrows far too deep and falls through the ceiling of a massive underground void, descending into a darkness that isn't truly darkness, where powerful and incomprehensible beings reside. Unwittingly, the player becomes the key to unlocking the prison that holds these beings, trapped after a failed coup to overthrow their cosmic ruler.
